Product Information
After a decade in abeyance, the courtly cannibal, Hannibal Lecter, returns to the screen, again played by Anthony Hopkins, under the direction of Ridley Scott. When F.B.I. Agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) is blamed for a botched drug bust, her boss Paul Krendler (Ray Liotta) makes a media circus of her humiliation, which catches the attention of Lecter. Now a hardened veteran, she begins receiving letters from the twisted genius, who remains obsessed with her. Yet she's not the only one interested in drawing out the psychopath, now lecturing on the Renaissance in Florence. Italian detective Pazzi (Giancarlo Giannini) hopes to impress his young wife by nailing the reward for his capture, and wealthy pedophile Mason Verger (Gary Oldman) is eager to take revenge against the cannibal for leaving him with a hideously deformed face. But they're no match for Hannibal's coyly satanic ubiquity, which bewilders his quickly narcotized foes before he administers a punishment sufficiently grotesque to suit his sense of amusement.The odious Krendler, in particular, learns to use his gray matter for, perhaps, the first time in his life. However, all is prologue to his fated rendezvous with Clarice. A banquet for the splatterati, reveling as it does in gore and dismemberment, the film features brilliant work by a stellar cast, and the kind of meticulous art direction and lushly magnificent photography that one has come to expect of one of Scott.
Crazy Freaky lacking the twisting ending of prior "Hannibal" series movies
Like Silence of the Lambs? how about the prequel? Well this one is another STELLAR hit for Anthony Hopkins and the Hannibal series. The ending is not as much of a twist as other movies but still VERY entertaining and freaky. Ridely Scotts super artistic and creative delve into human fear and edginess shines in this movie but turns a little off track of prior Hannibal movies in a good way. Refreshing.
enjoyable
I bought this to add to my collection of Hannibal DVDs. By the time I got around to watching it, it was too late to get any kind exchange or refund. It was the wrong DVD in the case; I didn't want Silence of the Lambs. The bonus disc was really interesting. Only wish I had the movie to complete my collection.
Why buy one when you can get two for twice the price.
Family members and friends borrow movies, from me, often. "Hannibal" is a particular favorite
of theirs. It takes a long time to go full circle from one person to another. until I finally get it back.
I decided to buy a new one, for my own viewing pleasure. Now, I have two (2) "Hannibal" movies
to keep track of. Yup, I'm better at sharing, than, hiding.
lol
Intriguing, & Alluring; One of the best stories for a part two of a movie series
I have looked and looked for this movie and now I finally found it. I have the other movies, "The Silence of the Lambs, The Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising." So now my collection is finally complete, thank you so much.
Although I love Jodie Foster as Clarice, Julianne Moore did a great job on this too. Evasion, revenge and killer pigs. Is revenge best served up with people as the main dish?
